Please help. I have a friend who works at IBM in England. I have an
address for him that drives my system crazy. If you have any
suggestions on how I can configure this address so that I can reach
my friend, please let me know.
The address is: /I=LC/G=LEONARD/S=NICOL/OU=IBM/O=BP
Thanks, Tammy (williams -at- oclc -dot- org)
There is a simple way into the IBM mail system. The address is whatever his IBM
internal address is, follwed by "@ibmmail.com". You could try contacting him and
finding out just what the first part of his address should be. Advantis also has
a directory lookup, but it only works if he's been added to the directory. I've
not encountered a large hit rate on the directory.
Have fun,
Arlen
